What I see:
Beavs doing a ton of little things wrong. This is on the coaches. Can't have a DT with his head down as the RB runs right past him. Can't have a RT trying to block a LB and letting the DE blow past him and make a tackle for a loss. Can't have a sure interception hit the DB and then he gets flagged for PI. Etc.
Hopefully people now see why I questioned Katz. He just doesn't get it. He has no feel for the game, and his football IQ is low. The only decent unit has been the run D. They've been quick to the edge and cut off some plays.
One more thing: everything we do on offense goes horizontally. I assume this is due to the bad o-line getting no push? Passes are horizontal, RBs run horizontally, etc. Opponents make vertical play look so easy, too.
There is still time to win this game, and unless Sac State scores once more I think the Beavs will find a way to do that. But if Sac State gets another TD this one is over.
I'm hoping for a 20-17 victory at this point. That's best case scenario.
Couldn’t have said it better.
One other thing, the broadcast is down or is it just me?
Yup, someone took pity on us.
i think yu are down..
mine is down
Mannion in there.
Katz is so slow to recognize coverage, and then his windup is slow. It’s brutal.
Curious to see what Mannion does. Need a spark/change, so this is a good move.
Mannion in and we already look better. Run the ball down their throats until they inch up and Mannion can go over them.
the play by play guys was eating something, where the hell was he?
Well Riley is giving up on the season already. Let’s see what the young guys can do.
aww gawd, chop block!!!
Drive killer, Remmers.
He’s good for at least one per game… so is Johnson.
This is like last season. Team is finally moving the ball and an O-Lineman commits a dumb penalty.
Stupid chopblock. But hey, it’s not like a lineman would KNOW that they cant hit someone in the knees when they’re already blocked…
Mannion makes good decisions, we run the ball more…what’s going on here? Is there a football game on?
Mannion’s first few plays and guess what? He actually has potential and I give props to him for his first time.
Need a turnover.
or a six and out
Can the secondary really be this bad?
We don’t defend short passes, it’s beneath us. This is amazing.
The secondary is playing such soft coverage.
Oh great, Fleming has motivation too. He wanted to be a Beaver.
Yeah… we need to press their WR’s and trust that our safeties can be ball hawks. It’s not like Fleming throws a nice long ball.
If the DBs and S are going to give the WRs ten yard cushions, they might as well just go sit on the sideline and hope Sac State drops 3 straight passes.
Thank gawd this didnt get picked up for tv coverage! This bad, really bad!!!
I think the bigger picture issue here is that our season is over already. Even if they win this game, it’s just not worth investing emotion or effort in this team. Too many frustrations. A year later and almost nothing has improved, or if it has it’s been negated by a new glaring problem.
Anybody think a Sac st. score here and the game may be over.
Game over, folks.
Wow.
awwww my gawd
My god, I’m done
screw it, I’m off to the gym
I honestly don’t think I want to watch this anymore.
This is pure embarrassment.
…this is unbelievable….
If we’re pressing, that double pass doesn’t happen.
Oh well.
Incredible. That wasn’t even the safety’s fault, since that same screen has gone for 10 every time, and he’s had to make the tackle. Where is the corner that should be hitting that WR when he catches it?
Beavs will be the butt of ESPN’s jokes tonight.
I’m going to continue to watch it since I’ve run out of Louis CK material. This is the next best thing.
Oh look its like watching a Championship Highschool team playing an FCS team
I paid $10 for this shit feed, I’m watching it.
This team needs a new secondary coach. Absolutely awful.
Petition to tell Bobby D that we refuse to donate unless it goes to a Riley buy-out? I know that Langdouche and Pucker are the problem but he refused to fire them when he needed to. Cut the head off this beast, I figure that Ericson will be available for hire…
This team needs a new everything coach
This team needs a new head coach.
Need to punk fake this.
Is Wheaton injured or something?
if at least someone gets fired because of this… then something good came out of it
Or a shank with a lucky bounce lol.
Beavers needed to go for it.
I thought he was hurt, not injured, so he’s catch a few but not be used too much. Preserve him for the true beating in Madison.
Amazing that so many fans look so happy about their team being made to look like shit. Hopefully it’s just the booze.
They’re happy the streak ended and they trust in Riley.
Yeah, the fan reaction is pissing me off. You could see the total disappointment of TCU fans last night and the angry of Auburn fans today.
I hope Sac State is nice enough to not run up the score.
What Parker and Wilson don’t understand is the 5 yard out is today’s running game. You have to stop that.
Wow.
I can now understand why the athletic department was beating the drums about donations BEFORE the game. :-(
OSU Defense: We make your jank QB look like a superstar!
Okay, Fleming you win… here is a beavers helmet…. is it too late?
Every team in college football seems to have a mobile QB who can throw strikes on the run except OSU.
Notice our defense is getting no pressure anymore, either? At least in the first they could do that…
2nd and 3rd string DL players are barely adequate.
Beavers got lucky as hell.
Anyone else miss Pankey?
Oooh! Imagine him in here. Add 200 yards their running game too.
hilarious
Play action Wheaton down the seam
Even the announcers knew that call was terrible.
throw on first down!!!!!!!!!!
Run game looks good. Time to try the pass for the sputter.
Time for a chop block. Or a hold. Or…
Who calls a play where the WR goes in motion…with no time left in the quarter? Dear lord.
amazing!!
For the remainder of the game I wanna see them go no huddle. Cannot waste time.
Beavers need to be hustling their asses, they aren’t going to get that many more positions. I am starting to think this is just not a well coached team. I watch a lot of college football and they just don’t do the little things fast and smart.
More shots of drunk fans.
“possessions’ sorry typo
No sense of urgency!!! For heaven sakes!!!
This is a poorly coached team. If you had told me before the game that Agnew would have 118 yds on 18 carries before the 4th quarter. I would be happy and thinking that back-ups would be in for touches. Damn.
I think Riley still coaches like it’s 10 years ago.
Also, whoever runs this stream is terrible. Noise fluctuations, down 3 times so far…how many of us paid 10 bucks for this garbage?
This play calling is brutal.
throw the fucking ball!!!
I’m not sure this strategy is going to get 15 points.
Time for play action or a screen.
Yeah right. We don’t know what a downfield pass looks like.
Angry or JackBeav, you guys are very articulate. Do you want to call Mike Leach’s radio show and plant the seed!!!!!
Rumor is leach might go to.fau.
Jeff Tuel has a broken collarbone. Ouch.
All the Pac 12 teams beating their cupcake opponents…except OSU.
We can guess who’s going to the the cupcake team in the Pac this year can’t we?
Is the idea here to run out the clock? lol
It’s like I’m listening to last year’s games – same play over and over –
At least we get yards.
I see, you pull Katz to cal 40 fucking run plays in a row!!!
He’s gonna have a charlie horse from that hit.
Agnew is limping why in the hell doesn’t Riley take him out?
Sounds like the announcers are starting to realize this is a poorly coached team.
My god. Throw the ball! quicken up the pace
This is horrible. Its hard to believe Katz is so bad he was benched against Sac State.
Ok… I know it was a run, but Mannion did it right.
Coaches, I think it is safe to say you’ve set up play action!
Scary thought is that they still need a touchdown AND a 2 pt conversion just to tie it.
Barring another turnover, Sac State wins this game.
I don’t see the D stopping them otherwise tbh.
Beavers need a three and out defensively. Probably need two more possessions in case they don’t convert a possible two point conversion if they get a stop and a touchdown.
It’s not like SacSt has stopped anything up the middle so far, though.
The only real question is, can we stop them with enough time for an 8-minute, 15 run scoring drive to win?
Need a stop here!
At least they can’t run it straight up, they have to zone read us. They can’t run the clock out, they will have to try to score again to beat us.
why are we rotating so many guys? seems like coaches have no idea who can play after camp. haven’t heard cam collins name all day. seems like same old story, mobile qb, can’t get off field on 3rd down, unimaginative play calling. so bad.
Collins has done nothing and Doctor pulled up when he should have nailed the QB
Sac State has perfectly designed plays for each situation. See so much more well prepared/coached than the Beavs.
10 yard pass? Go ahead, we don’t want them.
Dylan Wynn needs to play every down.
I swear if Sac St gets a first down on this third down………
About freakin’ time
Geez, was that a TD with a perfect throw?
I am starting to believe which is odd because I usually think this team will always find a way to screw it up. They can’t, they would be the laughing stock of the nation.
McCant’s ONE play, and he screws us.
lol
What did he do?
now watch us rough the punter…
wynn looks great, along w/ romaine & hecker, only bright spots today
Agnew is a bright spot.
Come up and catch that damn ball in the air.
How did Fernando NOT BLOCK THAT?
It was like the ball went through him. Ghost??
Wynn has been a stud, Agnew has been very solid, Mannion doesn’t screw up and completes passes. Other than that…
Think they out 11 in the box and dare us to pass to wide open WR’s? I bet we can’t even get the ball to uncovered guys.
Glad you are wrong, completion still doesn’t guarantee a win for Beavs.
I’ll take that bet. :)
finally! wheaton should touch the ball every series
Who’s that #2? He’s pretty good.
Mannion with a great throw and stood in there and let it fly.
About time
About fing time
Looks like we found a starting QB, and yes Angry you were right, we successfully set up the PA.
Did I just see a Derek Andersen in his senior season?
That Agnew is gonna be real good!
Have we just seen Katz season go bye-bye?
Mannion is legit.
And Angry was WAY wrong about Mannion. But that’s okay.
Two great, great reads by our new starting QB to tie this game up.
Go Defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s not go overboard. He has to do it for more than a few plays.
But as I said, he looks poised and scans the whole field, which is a relief. Now do it over and over and over….
Finally a nice play call! I could have sworn Langs would say,” hand it to Agnew.”
Mannion playing with poise. Good delivery and actually scans the field.
Wow! Play-action for the two? Never saw that one coming.
Secondary has to come up big now.
Is that play not stoppable?
Poyer with a NICE tackle. Love that kid.
What I love most about that 2PAT was that Mannion didn’t act like a frosh at all. He stood tall, found his man and just flicked it instead of trying to gun it in there.
Bad call.
Faceguard #3. Hooray secondary coach.
Wow, Poyer is borderline garbage. WTF? Kinda missin Hardin.
You’re thinking Hardin would be close enough to get the same PI calls against him?
Watkins is having a horrible game. Dude needs to get his head out of his arse and into the fresh air.
Aawwww yeah
Oh dear lord. What was that play?
this kids gonna go 220 yrds today
So was Katz the problem with this team? He seemed on drugs or something.
Wow.
There’s the RB fumble we worried about.
……………
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
I was a broken record, but I said fumbles would be an issue.
That is when you miss Quizz!
They can’t allow Sac St to get a first down.
Its going to be a long year with all the new guys.
Exactly, big plays followed by big bonehead plays.
Sac State will win.
Beavs chance was turnovers, and they blew that.
Sucks ass.
That fumble was an essential fail, but I can’t blame Agnew, he’s been doing good
But it is something that you can’t do in that situation. Just can’t happen.
Fire Banker.
At least there is still time to drive and score.
especially when the Beavs run the play clock down to 7 much of the time
that was supposed to be reply to angry re: might not see the ball again
Good thing we have all that SPEED at LB…
Yes, or their RB’s would have a gazillion yards on us as well. Imagine Pankey watching them run around the edge on him time and again.
Might not see the ball again…
Beavers need to start calling timeouts pretty soon or they will be no time for the offense.
Looks to me like Riley got out coached (yet again).
Yeah, there are bigger stories here, win or lose.
c’mon…boys…got to hold them to a FG to have a prayer…
ESPN is slow updating clock, how much time?
Riley doesn’t coach anything except practice. Banker and Langsdorf are just horrendous.
big third down here…
Need a stop here! if they don’t get a stop here game over. QB will run for the first.
Oh garbage. ESPN said 5:30. Now 3 minutes. huh?
Beavers will have a shot. Sac St kicker has looked a little shaky on PATs
Damn, that was interception waiting to happen.
Gotta block this. Need the minister.
Aawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Called it!
This game is going to murder me. 2ish minutes, blocked FG. Amazing.
BLOCKED!!!!!!!
wow…huge play…great push up front.
glad they didn’t score off agnew’s fumble.
Yeah… Riley will be a coach of the year for letting Castro play.. ugh
How much time left?
And ever since I stopped watching it, we’ve done a lot better.
To be fair, their kicker hit the back of his own man’s head.
Jenkins has to get out of bounds there. Another small mistake/bad coaching job.
Mannion looks like the “good” Derek Andersen at times.
Well Mannion is going to be battle tested. Weak team but still, good learning experience. We will find out a lot about the guy.
How much time is left?
20 seconds, 3rd down on like the 8. Let’s hope Romaine isn’t Kahut.
21 seconds after the spike
no wonder he missed it – all that waiting – can this coaching staff get the little things right?
Agnew with 195 yards. Not bad for the first game.
They make a good point about centering the ball. Coaching once again
Ice this.
I always get nervous about this decision….like to see them go for paydirt a couple times.
This offensive line is just DUMB. Just DUMB.
yeah…as i was saying.
He misses it. Are you fucking kidding me?
That was Remmers again, btw. Why is he a starter?
We are a very bad football team. This will be a very long season.
And not centering the play may come back to haunt them.
Jesus christ
That miss is an omen. Sac St. almost certainly wins it now…
don’t like our chances here. can’t contain the qb or cover receivers…bad combo for kansas plan.
Agreed.
Turnovers and kicks into lineman’s backs will only last so long.
This game sucks and has to go to overtime…. great!
Riley still makes decisions like he is coaching a bad NFL team and trying to save his job.
This had better be his Serna moment, all I can say.
Still, our offense has marched on them all 2nd half, and theirs has stalled a bit. I feel okay about this, even if we should have won it there.
Being a Beaver fan sucks.
Agnew reminds me of a better Bernard
Agnew is a beast.
I called Agnew for 220 yrds!!
Damn, he gets up the field quick.
They have worn down Sac.St, but god knows what the defense will do.
1 defensive stop. That’s all they need. Hopefully they can actually get it!
What happened? The feed crapped out. Agnew a big TD run?
Details please.
Straight up the gut
Decent bracket coverage on that one.
That big, white WR on Sac St is a pain in my ass.
Too bad they get 4 downs…
Agnew took it in for 6 from about the 15.
What’s the OSU record for rushing yards in a game?
It’s hard to have any faith in a stop…
Wilson brings up a good point about the endzone being a defender.
That was a good point about the DE’s getting cut. They are not going to get sacks on those short drops. They need to stay up and take away the QB’s vision. They have been getting cut all day.
Angry This link is still working. Thanks for the link GMan!
http://apps.ohlulz.com/ncaa/flash.php?lulz=rtmp://cp98724.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live&id=orst_m-footbl@31490
the “Beat Oregon” T-shirt…yeah, better put that one away for the year.
Poyer has been getting worked today.
That looked like offensive PI
what the hell, the guy pushed off, no?
if I”m sac st. I go for two.
This is going to be bad.
so…game ends here. my money’s on sac st. They will convert a play action via scramble for two.
Yep
Horrible no PI call.
Refs are the same ol’
Trust me, I was 15 feet from that play, it WAS a horrible no call. Especially considering all the PI calls against the Beavs in the game.
Beavs didn’t earn a win but they certainly didn’t deserve to get screwed either.
Afterwards i/2 the refs hurried into their safe zone while the other half huddled in the endzone. I let all of them know my ‘thoughts’ on their abilities (within reason, hey I was surrounded by kids including my own).
Like takin’ candy from a baby on that last pass. Piece o’ cake…
Imo the Beavs didn’t deserve to win.
I agree.
As Wilson pointed out near the end of regulation time, the Beavs didn’t stop Sac State in the 2nd half. It was the 2 Sac State fumbles that stopped them.
Poyer had his back turned the whole time…… pathetic
It looked like the guy pushed him.
They didn’t show a replay.
It WAS a push. Everyone around us saw it. Everyone in the stadium was talking about it on the way out. Cest la vie, the Beavs shouldn’t have allowed it to come to that.
I wonder if Riley lasts passed this season.
It almost makes you want to become a duck fan… but not really.
Oh my! GAG, HACK, PUKE
I’d rather cheer for USC.
Well the Beavs got what they deserved. Did Sac St. really break the huddle with 12 or was that Parker not knowing the rules? And yes it looked like a push off, but that hardly every gets called.
There were 12 in the huddle.
Horrible. They didn’t deserve to win, but just awful.
No PI call, and no 12-in-the-huddle call. Amazing. The refs can only call PIs against us.
No way those two calls should have mattered. Once again Banker can’t devise a scheme for stopping a mobile, talented QB.
Romaine, I know I can’t blame it on you but YOU MISSED A 27 YD FIELD GOAL!
shoulda been 22!
Why cant we EVER EVER EVER look at the damn ball? Who’s stupid ass strategy is that? Can we write in and make 100 complaints about how insane that is, and how many games it has cost us?
The corners are taught by the coaches to not look back at the ball (Dockery complained about that last year, too). I couldn’t agree with you more. The D looks pathetic.
Mannion better be our new starting QB, Katz looked like a kat caught in the headlights.
So our season is over week 1.
Big question: now what?
Fire the AD and hire someone who has the balls to fire Riley. But I’m repeating myself.
But as fans what do we do?
I am tempted to just cancel my cable and give up on the season/not even bother writing about this. It’s so pointless.
I’m left rooting against other teams (Notre Dame, Oregon, and Boise St) rather than rooting for my own team. This after WEEK 1!
Va Tech recovered from their James Madison loss, we could too.
Yes, but VA tech played James Madison 5 days after a tough close loss to Boise. The Beavers did this to start their season.
Haha, trying to find hope but reality says 0-12 this year. Hate when my predictions are right, I said we would be horrible. I just thought 4-8 would be horrible…
against whom would we recover?
WSU, they lost Tuel today.
Now we will see Riley and Langs run Agnew over and over and over and………
Yep.
National punch line?
I am too lazy to look it up, but are the Beavs about 5-11 in their last 16 games?
How come we couldn’t get the homer call from Pac-12 refs? WTF? Home conference refs almost always screw road teams, why can’t it work for us?
No shit, pretty amazing. But refs don’t make calls on plays like that in OT, ever. They don’t want to be seen as influencing the game, even when they blow horrible calls like that.
When you only show up for one quarter out of three…you don’t deserve to win.
How come we couldn’t simply have DB’s look for the ball and avoid PI’s so that the homer calls from the refs would not be a factor?
Looking forward to Sept, 1. ( 2012 ). Katz may be a better QB, but the offense as a whole seemed to gel better under Mannion. I’m sure Katz will be back next week for the blood letting. Do they actually have a point limit on the scoreboard? And what is Quizz thinking right now? ( Thank you, Thank you, Thank you )
Mannion is much better than Katz. Not really close.
exactly my question earlier, is there a mercy rule?
2010 strategy: Run Jaquizz
2011 strategy: Run Agnew
Rinse and Repeat.
Fuck this bullshit. Riley is Norv Turner’s fucking clone when it comes to strategy. Fucking embarassing period. Go LSU.
That is a great comparison.
ESPN guys were just laughing as they pulled up the Beaver score.
Also took a jab at the conference SOS.
Mannion better start at Wisconsin
Uhhh imo who ever starts at Wisconsin isn’t going to have a lot of self confidence by the end of the game. And they’re also going to get pretty banged up. Not sure I want to see Mannion be tossed to the lions this early in his career. jmo
Apparently we paid Sac St $500,000 for that.
Good business transaction. Glad I donated to that, and can’t wait to do it again.
Who’s ready for basketball!?
Me. Sad that we are in that state. The basketball program hasn’t made the big dance in 21 years and we are really looking forward to the season. Speaks to how embarrassing this loss is.
As poorly as CR managed the games last year I kind of cringe when I think about the upcoming season. Better talent but has the coaching improved? I saw no evidence of that last year.
Come to think of it OSU needs to fire the AD and hire someone who has the balls to fire Riley AND CR. bwdik
I’m going to pin my hat on the women’s basketball team this year.
Considering we played 1/2 of football, that was a very good comeback.
If you want to blame someone, don’t blame Agnew or Romaine. Katz, the secondary, and the refs blew that game hard.
As did the coaching staff, that continues to run a base 4-3 against running QBs and short-pass offenses, and doesn’t allow corners to look for the ball. Same thing over and over, year after year.
Amen
Indeed, notgood when feti leadsin tackles
Actually, the MLB should lead in tackles.
Tyner was at this game…
Not good that he say Agnew go for 200+ and a loss to a D1 team…recruiting could take a hit in the coming weeks.
Riley sounds more excited about the Sac st quarterback than he does about his own team.
Riley sounds like he always does….vanilla, down the middle, no passion. He has had some past success and has recently had the sense to make some coaching changes, but I can’t see big strides forward until he brings a little EMOTION to his job/team.
That QB looked exactly like the Louisville QB from last season.
That’s what I was thinking too Angry. Solid QB for sure, but the Beavers secondary made him look like Andrew Luck.
Yeah, the secondary which was predicted to be the strength of Beavs D this year, go figure.
I cautioned that coaching was going to be a negative factor, just didn’t expect it this game.
Hey, at least its not a non-conference blowout loss on the road to start the seasonn, that’s something different!
Agnew very encouraging.
I am actually sad more than mad at what I watched today. I might be a little older than some here and this harkens back to a time that I thought was safely in the past.
+1
Probably already been said, but why didn’t sac st get called for excessive celebration on the td in ot. Should have been taken away due to the new rule. Also, were there 12 men on the 2 point?
There are a lot of penalties they missed. One of many factors in our loss.
The announcers said there were 12 men in the huddle, but a guy ran off the field. They probably still would have completed a TD pass though, right?
True, we shouldn’t have won or lost the game on one or two calls. Anyone know the status on Katz? Riley isn’t one to pull the qb even if they are doin bad. Makes me think he re-aggravated his injury.
Riley is clearly complacent. He has to go, I don’t care what happens. If he gets us to a BCS bowl I may forgive him.
Sadly, I agree. While I loved that he actually changed QBs(I didn’t think he’d have the balls) apparently he can only change players, not coordinators. Langsdorf and Banker are atrocious, have been for 5 years.
We keep them, we keep losing.
The one difference from recent years is that the defense actually tackled well.
The secondary looked like rancid rotten shit.
Oregon and Boise St games are kicking off.
Time to go puke in my tears.
Eastern Washington is playing the Huskies tough, that would minor solace if they can beat the Huskies somehow.
Average YPC for SacSt receivers:
14.8
14.2
10.2
Incredible. We might as well rush 9 and see if we can just beat their throws, with numbers like that.
Mannion outplayed Flemming in the 2nd, but he only had one half to create a comeback.
Despite everything it should have been a 24-21 win. You have to make that FG and also you have to run in the middle and center it. This coaching staff just does not have the detail that you see from elite staffs. It’s the little things that add up.
Long time troll, new poster. Fucking pathetic. Firebanker.com? That piece of shit scheme we run will not beat anyone. Missed the first half, was it that bad?
Also, just went over to the pay sites. They are talking about positives from this game? There were absolutely no positives. Jesus.
There were individual positives but they don’t really matter when the team loses. That is small picture mentality. Whoever is pointing to positives is likely a giant loser.
Also, the stream didn’t even show the final play again. That was the worst 10 dollars I’ve ever spent. And it auto-renews? Calling Monday to cancel.
I’ve been in WA. Got the OT score in the car but no final. I was sure the Beavs would pull off an embarrassing win. I can’t believe this. It is now not impossible to predict us losing every game this season.
I hope Riley was booed.
Haha, Oregon with a clipping and leg whip penalty already. JackBeav is probably so happy they’re calling it.
Well, I just can’t wait till Glover, Frahm, Rodgers, Halahuni, etc. are back on the field. I don’t think we will go winless.
Well, Kansas St, Texas Tech and Iowa St. are struggling against FCS. I guess I am hoping the Beavs aren’t the only team that is going to lose to a lesser opponent today. That’s all I have left.
Quacks look like shit.
I just want them to lose so we won’t have to worry about them winning the NC this year.
They’d only drop to 10 or so and have a chance to come back if everyone else loses 1 game.
Georgia 7-0. Nice.
Ducks offense looks inept, but so does LSU. Looks like a turnover deciding type game.
Is there another winnable game on the Beavs schedule. Wazzu rolled up 64 on Idaho St. and I think that was without Teul.
Honestly just clean house, is it really that hard to get your team excited for a season opener? We can’t have a head coach that doesn’t even seem mad after embarrassing himself
A young assistant from an SEC team would be the ideal hire.
I think Leach is the ideal hire. Cheap, innovative, grumpy, etc. People fear grumpy.
The old, dying farmers won’t allow that to happen, though.
I love listening to Leach on the radio show he has with Jack Arute. He is absolutely no bullshit.
There were a few positives from our game, and to pretend otherwise is just being bitter.
But none of them really matter because you can’t overcome horrible coaching and scheming. Base 4-3 no matter what, no looking at the ball, and terrible play calls on offense. Just can’t win that way.
That might be true, but I temper any positives I can come up with because of the level of the opponent. Can any of these things that we saw in the second have translate against Pac-10 competition? I don’t have any idea at this point.
Angry,
I know you email Bob D a lot, but have you ever brought up the M. Leach scenario? I don’t donate nearly enough to matter, but I feel that there must be something left for us to make our voice matter.
I’m sure those donations will come pouring in, after we lost to a D3 school because we don’t know how to cover a pass.
Don’t look now,EWU is closing on the Huskies.
Eastern didn’t quite make despite Bo Levi throwing for about 500 yards. I think Duke might lose to Richmond, so the Beavs won’t be the only FBS to lose to FCS today, but that is not saying much.
Wisconsin is gonna have a field day.
To add insult to injury, ESPN ticker is now announcing FCS upsets of FBS teams lumping the Beavs with Richmond’s upset of Duke. Man, can this day get any worse?
It’ll be interesting to see how Mannion does after a week with the 1’s.
Not that I have any hope vs Wisconsin,but the run blocking was decent,and the 4th qtr was presentable other than our worthless dipshit kicker.
Oh DEAR LORD!!! 349 comments?! I was at the game…so going through this would be a waste of time…here is what I saw:
Coaching staff:
Riley: Great time management! He used his timeouts well.
Langsdorf: Better in the second half of mixing up the plays and using strengths like setting up the run before the pass…in the second half that is! Probably felt that he didn’t need to set the run up to set the pass, but he was wrong. The other thing he did wrong was not running the ball into the center of the field for Romaine to kick the field goal.
Brennan: Great coach as far as I can tell! Blocking by WR’s was outstanding! Great Hire by Riley!
RB coach(name?): We’ll see since Agnew was running against an FCS school and all…
Banker: Needs to teach his D-lineman to FIRE off the ball! I saw Castro stay in his stance 2-3 seconds AFTER the ball was snapped!! We can’t have that against Wisconsin next week. Also, our D-line didn’t try swim moves nor rips…they only do bull rushes!! Banker really needs to go as far as I can tell with technique wise!
Kieth Heyward: Ya, there were TONS of PI’s Sac State should have been called for, but weren’t. Also, the DB’s had balls under thrown and were called for PI because they didn’t look back and when they did look back, the DB’s were called because the Sac St players flopped. So the coaching techniques were fine, it’s just the turning around that needs to be worked on and reading when to turn around.
QB: Ryan Katz(same as he ended the season….poor decision maker! Should NEVER have started this game!)
Sean Mannion: Lights out performance, Stepping up in the pocket when pressure was on, sliding over to the 2 pt conversion to Markus Wheaton after staring all at the right and then quickly releasing to the left. Should have started the game!
Running Back:
Agnew is FAST! Hits the hole fast, finds the whole quickly and then goes! And as Angry has pointed out, OSU will fumble at RB because we were so used to Quizz, Yve, and Jackson not fumbling. So the fact that Agnew had 1 fumble today early and then he RAN DOWN the player who grabbed the fumble to tackle him was an amazing play and showed heart! Love Agnew! Huge fan!
Line Play:
MUCH improved! The fact that Agnew got 223 yards rushing against a team that was dominating the O-line most of the game is impressive to me. Run Blocking improved, Pass blocking is in need of a lot of work!
TE:
My seats are a few seats over from Colby Prince’s sister and I think the Prince family. I found out by a comment I made in regards to Colby Prince dropping a pass over the middle, “He’s a great run blocker, but not that good when it comes to catching.” They didn’t seem to be upset by my comment, seeing how they said, “Ya, he won’t be that way for long.” So I take it he’s working on his hands in catching the ball. So good to hear and I’m hoping to be better acquainted with the Prince family since we’ll be sitting there for the length of our season tickets.
WR:
Cooks is FAST!! He’s small, but fast!
Wheaton looks good when the QB is good..nothing new.
I will admit I didn’t have my radio to assist me in my further knowledge of following the players more closely, but I’d say we’re doing just fine at WR.
D-Line:
Mentioned it above, but another touch up is that they are good at stuffing the run. They can’t get a pass rush, but they are quick on the outside to stop the run game. So those teams that are pass happy, we’re in trouble…run teams….we’ll be fine. Need to learn more twists, stunts, and rips/swim moves if we want to actually know where the QB is running/passing. Oh, and they got their hands up on passes. that’s a good sign too!
LB’s:
FAST! Run stoppers, but not very good in coverage. Still need work on that a little bit. We need to work on blitzing LB’s and knowing when to blitz 1 or 2 guys at a time.
Safety’s:
Quick, but definitely not Mitch Meeuwsen…meaning, Mitch needs to teach these kids where run plays will occur and when pass plays will occur and where passes will most likely occur…because that’s what Mitch was known for!
DB’s:
Great pressure on the outside, but still need work.
Special teams other than Romaine….I’m not worried about them…in fact..Hecker was OUTSTANDING! The rugby style is a good method of kick for him.
These comments are of my personal opinion of the positives and negatives of the OSU game against Sac State as far as I an remember after wishing to forget that we actually lost this game…I tried wiping out most of the game, but memory is hard to wipe clean.
Also, the Sac State player pushed off big time on #10 and #10 made sure the ref who stared at the play knew that he made a horrible non call. It was in my endzone on my side. So I saw it clearly the the Sac St. guy pushed the OSU DB down and away and fell backwards to catch the ball. Ya, That was a terrible non call.
Your at-the-game-in-person reflections are appreciated.
Looks like 8-4 Pac-12 teams won today:
OSU: L
UCLA: L
Colordo: L
Oregon: L
Looks like It’s unsure of how OSU will fare and depends how we bounce back after this loss.
ok so I’ve been reading from your comments that you’re writing off the season already. That’s close to bandwagon fans.the reason I say that is because a true fan will support a team no matter how bad they are in 1 game! 1 game does not define the rest of the season. Manning better start the rest of the season, we better have more smarts of ball placement, we can’t expect the refs to be on our side in any future game. So now we have to try and beat our opponent and the refs. I blame larry scott(commisioner) on the reffing in this game. At least jerry strickerz called penalties on the other team when it came to penalties! This crew called 1 holding penalty on a WR, 2 false starts, and no PI’s on Sac St. That’s ridiculous! I saw at least 5 different Sac St. Guys holding our d-line!
I’ve been a Beaver fan since the giant killers year (1967), which means I stuck with them through 28 straight years of losing, so I’m not a “bandwagon” fan and I’m not abandoning them now. But let me tell you something. This loss, against Sacramento State at Reser, is every bit as bad and as embarrassing as any loss the Beavers suffered during those 28 years. Maybe worse. This just sucks in every possible way! And Sac State is more like a high school team when you think about Wisconsin at Wisconsin. The future is bleak.
